This is the effort that we all need to focus on!
YES!
We need to get the money out of the political system!
We need to all be screaming this in the streets!
Capitalism vs. socialism/communism, that whole argument is a total distraction and is just fodder for those that don't really understand or who want to muddy the waters.
It's going to be tough to make an amendment happen. It's only the "street" (and I don't mean Wall Street), that's going to make it happen. FOCUS, baby, FOCUS!

It troubles me that the proposed amendment only talks about giving Congress the power to regulate financing. It doesn't state that the corporations are not people and that money is not speech. IMO, those are the key issues.

Whats sad is that a post and article like this goes un noticed and is drowned out by people posting and discussing their own selfish agenda. This is a couple senators attempting to do exactly what the OWS protests are asking for... Yet no one cares because it doesn't directly effect their own personal interests.
